Eastern Wheat Market , Con tinues to Advance. FOREIGN POTATO CROP SHORT Chicago, For the First Time During the Present Campaign, It Above the Dollar Mark. Chicago, Aug. 80. Today, for the first time since the present bull cam paign in wheat was started, the price of September wheat sold above the dol lar mark in Chicago. Ten minutes af- -ter the opening, $1.03 was offered, an advance over yesterday's closing prioe of 6 oents. Even at that tempt ing figure, the b,ull clique refused to let .go of their holdings. Enough wheat came on the market to break the prioe to 98 7-8 oents by the time the closing bell sounded, but the brokers who were ; engineering the deal stoutly denied . that it came from them. . There was, perhaps, a shade of ma liciousness in the way they forced the shorts to bid up. It was ourrently re- ,. ported on Monday, when prices broke so sharply, that the pool was forced to put up $400,000 in margins. They ' certainly had their revenge today. The rise was plainly due to the clique, which is now swelled, by rumor, to in clude Joseph Lei'ter, George R. Frenoh, Allen, Grier & Co., and James Keene, of Wall street. The only leader, George French, who appeared distinct ly above the surface, makes no secret 'that he has a line of 5,000,000 bushels of September wheat. There was not much more than 1,100,000 bushels of contract wheat in Chicago, with hardly anything coming, and an immense Bhort line of cash wheat sold for ex port. This iB the situation as it now playg into the hands of the bull com bine. ' ' The sudden rise of September wheat was not reflected in any other large market in the country, with the excep tion of Minneapolis, where September bounded from 92 cents to f 1. St. Louis advanced 2 cents at one time, but relapsed to the opening prices for Deoember. Although statistics were not given ' much attention, one item of foreign news had a distinct influence. The foreign potato crop shortage is estimat : ed at the total of 1,000,000,000 bush els, wh'.ch was expected to increase the demaria for Ainencan wheat. Its influ ence waB especially felt in December wheat, which is not supposed to be un der the thumb of any clique. Corn and provisions !'were both affected by the excitement in wheat. In corn, the trading was enomrous, and although an advanoe of 1 to cents was recorded, the feeding was very strong at the close. The closing for-rprovisiona -was 15 to 20 cents higher. ' ' NEWS FROM THE ISLANDS. Hawaii Has Not Tet Received Japan's Answer. San Francisco, Aug. 80. The steamer Mariposa arrived this morning from Sydney, via Honolulu, with the following Hawaiian advices: The Hawaiian government has not yet received any answer from ' Japan regarding the offer to refer the immi gration trouble to arbitration. . There is no change in the situation here. The China registry case was. finally submitted to Judge Perry for a decision August 19, and an early decision is confidently expected, as the matter will in all probability be appealed to the supreme court. It is predicted, that the question of the big steamer's regis try will be settled before she reaohes here agsin in October. The principal point upon which, the Hawaiian govern iment rules is the question of McFar lane's oitizenship, he having been born on the island of .British parents. The American ship Commodore left Honolulu for New York August 19, . with a cargo of sugar, valued at $191, S00. ; . To Conciliate With Us. London, Aug. 80. The Standard's correspondent at' San Sebastian says: I learn that Spain has intimated her willingness to make considerable re duction in the contemplated "West In dian tariffs, in order to develop the trade of Cuba with the United States. She was willing to negotiate a reciproc ity treaty when the Dingley tariff came into force, but the United States re ceived advances coldly, because " it wanted the Cuban question settled first. Indeed, Spain is now aware that American diplomacy will soon raise other and more important questions be fore commercial questions are likely to be mooted." . Disease Aids the Insurgent Cause. Havana, Aug. 30; There are 4,000 Spanish soldiers in. the hospitals of Havana and other points. About 2,000 are sent back monthly to Spain incapac itated. Sickness is increasing.

Downing, Hopkins & Company's Review of Trade. An inquiry into European crop con ditions conducled by the Orange Judd syndicate of agricultural papers, includ ing the American Agriculturist, of New York, the Orange-Judd Farmer, of Chi cago, and the New England Homestead, of Springfield, Mass., indicates that the food crop situation abroad is very grave. , Estimates of Europe's (including England) need of wheat imports range all theway from 800,000,000 to 400, 000,000 bushels. Europe's wheat crop for 1895, 1894 and 1893 averaged 1, 500,000,000 bushels. In 1891 the fam ine year, it was only 1,200,000. The impression is gaining ground that Eu rope's wheat this year is even less than in 1891. . But this is not the worst of it. Europe usually prod uoes as much rye as she does wheat. It is the bread grain of the masses. The rye crop of the principal European countries has averaged above 1,800,000,000 annually for 1896, 1895, 1894 and 1898. This season the rye crop of these countries cannot much exceed 875,000,000 bush els. Quite as bad is the potato pros pect. Only about 1,850,000,000 bush els of potatoes will 'be harvested in these countries this year. Without re gard to the United Kingdom or other European countries, there is a shortage of soma million bushels of potatoes. The European shortage, compared with the average, follows: Wheat, bushels . 300,000,000 Rye, bushels 835,000,000 Potatoes, bushels 1,000,000,000 Total............. 1,635,000,000 'The Hungarian department of agri culture says: "The favored oountries are the United States and Canada. The latter will soon be one of the most important of the exporting oountries, its excess over last year's production being 70,000,000 bushels of wheat, and 20, 000,000 of corn. Its output of all sorts, of grain was 270,000,000 bushel The yield of wheat in Great Britain this season is 50,000,000 bushels against 63,000,000 last year. The wheat area of British India is reduced from 23, 000,000 acres to 18,000,000, and the wheat yield from 234,000,000 bushels to 202,000,000 bushels. The United States, which has re duced its area sown in oats by 2,000, 000 aores, that for corn by 1.000,000 acres, while that in other grain re mains unchanged, will nevertheless dis pose of . 534,000,000 bushels of wheat, against 434,000,000 bushels last year.

M anufacturers Fair to Be Held in Port ' land September 22 to October 2. The exposition to be held at Port land this fall will-be along new lines, differing entirely from any fair ever held in that city. This year the man ufacturers' of Oregon will show the people what is made in the state, and with that end in view the exhibits will consist wholly of manufactured goods made in Oregon. Another newj feature this year will pe that no admission will be charged. From all sides we hear the report that the fair will be the most interesting and instructive exhibition ever held in the state. One wing of the large exposition building will be de voted exclusively to live exhibits, and a great many articles will be made right there in tlie building. The fair is bound to be a grand suc cess, as already tlie entire spaoe of the two main floors is taken up by exhib itors, and we understand the manufac turers have the money on hand to pay all expenses. There is no good reason why Oregon should not be more of a manufacturing state than she is, and if the people will call for goods made at home, instead of using goods of Eastern manufacture, home pay-rolls will increase in a won derful way, making work and happy homes for all. We sincerely believe the fair will do more to enthuse the people than anything else that could be done in creating a demand for home prod ucts, and showing the necessity of patronizing home manufacturers. - The Manufacturers Association of the North west, under whose auspices the fair will be held, deserves great credit for the work it is doing. The fnir will be open from Septem ber 22 to October 2, and all railroads have made a reduced rate of one and one-fifth fare for the round trip. . Kaiser William's Number. The figure 9 has a peculiar connec tion with the career of the Emperor of Germany. His majesty is the ninth king of Prussia; he was born in the 59 th year of the century, entered the army in 1869, and completed his uni versity career in 1879. The dates of his birth and marriage, January 27th and February 27th, both make nine if the figures 2 and 7 are added together.

"I had thought once," said the publisher, "of calling it the Wits Miscellany." "Well," rejoined Jerrold, "you needn't have gone to the other ex treme." . ' ' Canon Knox-Little told a story once at a church congress of a lych-gate in front of a beautiful church, which had been restored and 'made very nice. There was painted over the door, "This Is the Gate of Heaven," and under neath was the large notice, "Go round the other way." A good Highland minister was en deavoring to steer a boat-load of city young ladies to a landing-place. A squall wan bursting; the steering was difficult. One of the girls annoyed him by Jumping up and calling anxiously, "Oh, where are we going to?" "If you do not sit down and keep still, my young leddy," said the minister-pilot, succinctly, "that will verra greatly de pend on how you were brought up." A burglar in Germany, passing through a room where .a boy lay In bed, explained to him that he was the devil, and having thus frightened him, as he flattered himself, into a condition of si lence and .immobility, went his way after tup silver. But the boy, who was a religious character, presently said to himself: "If I should kill the devil there would be no more sin," and creep ing to where his father's gun lay, took it and shot the burglar. He now be lieves that the devil Is dead. An English peer, for some offense, was called out by a politician, and promptly responded to the challenge. On arriving at home again after the duel, his lordship gave a guinea to the coachman who had driven him to and from the ground. The driver appears to have been an exceptionally honest, simple man. He was surprised by the largeness of the sum presented, and said, "My lord, I only took you to ." "Yes, yes; I know that. But the guinea is for bringing me back." Ellen Beach Yaw is much entertained when she is at her home in Southern California. Recently a yachting-party was made up in. her honor, and a cruise was taken on the channel. Miss Yaw became seasick and took to her berth. One of her entertainers, soon after ward, went in to inquire how the guest was feeling, and heard her humming a lullaby in a most peculiar tone. "H'sh!" said her maid, "don't disturb Miss Yaw now, she Is very sick." "But she is singing!" cried the visitor, "Yes, I know," answered the girl, "but Miss Yaw moans in tune that way so It won't disturb anybody else." The queen was once Informed by the manager of her Shaw farm that a Scot tish farmer was a breeder of superior collie dogs, and she thereupon ex pressed a wish to pos&ess one of them. Accordingly, the farmer forwarded two beautiful dogs, and her majesty gave orders that the next time he came to the farm he should Immediately be tak en up to the castle. .The farmer rrs somewhat uneasy as to how he should comport himself in the presence of royalty, and the manager put him through his facings. At last the fateful day arrived, and he was ushered into the presence of the queen. Her majes ty shook hands with him, and said: "I have to tkunk you for the two beautiful collies you sent me!" And to this gra cious remark they farmer replied: "Touts, touts, , wumman! baud yer tongue! What's the maitter o' a pair o' dowgs between you and me?" The Duke of Wellington was a great stickler for punctilio in what seemed to him the proper places. When the regi ment of his son, Lord Douro, was quar tered at Dover, the duke was staying at Walmer Castle, and the officers rode over and left their cards, as a matter of form. Soon after came an Invitation from the Duke of Wellington inviting all the officers to dine, but Ignoring his own son. When Lord Douro asked for an explanation, the duke gave it thus, with great good humor: "I make no distinctions In this service. Those gen tlemen had paid me the compliment of a visit, and I invited them to-dinner. You were not among them, so I omit ted you in the invitation." A Gulf line special, filled with the of ficers of the road on a tour of inspec tion, was flagged by some men working on a section near Colorado Springs. Shocked by the suddenness of the stop, all of the officers rushed to the rear platform, .where the men were congre gated, to learn the cause of the hold up, each apprehensive that a wreck had occurred on the line In the vicinity. Mr. Hartwell, the paymaster, was the first to Inquire of the man riearest him, a raw-boned recruit from TIpperary, who had not been In the service of the company more than a fortnight. "There's bin no accident, yer honor," said the Irishman; "I J 1st wanted to in quire of yez whin the paycar'll be along." There was some wiring en gaged in at the next stop, and Pat's solicitude for the arrival of the paycar was relieved by the prompt receipt of his pay-check. ' Too Good to Be Trne.
